I went to mailbox today, the kind on a wooden post by the road, and found the door 100% jammed shut, with nothing inside. To most people, this wouldn't raise any red :usaflag:s, but it did with me. My rusty mailbox door has to be literally forced THAT closed up, and I personally never ever have done that myself. I actually like to leave it loose to let me know quickly if the mail has been delivered. This makes me even more worried that any home mail, including CC offers and valid home delivered bills might be being lifted by cheap criminals.
Now I am not talking about shredding or making sent mail ONLY in postal boxes or the PO. It's the sent mail. Face it, this country does have it's bad elements even more than yesterday. What's a scary warning like Messing with a USPS mailbox is a federal offense, to people on the lamb, or even non citizens? I don't know much more that I can do here myself with my mailbox, but I'm going to be thinking more now after finding this empty mailbox, with the obvious, I wasn't official but I decided to look to see what you had individual. What other sense could I make out of it besides tampering, since I absolutely know I didn't close the door that way, and I didn't send any mail with the red :usaflag: raised so the mail man didn't open and close it, and it was totally empty so I didn't get mail?
Do you rural people pay this much attention to your security, to cause noticing these kinds of seemingly unimportant anomolies/oddities? Just seemed really suspicious to me. BTW I live single, so a family member couldn't have been the culprit. martin
